As a common industrial material, rubber cloth-based tape is widely used in various fields. In the market, we can find two common rubber cloth-based tapes, namely synthetic rubber cloth-based tape and natural rubber cloth-based tape. How to accurately distinguish these two tapes is very important for consumers. This article will introduce in detail how to distinguish synthetic rubber cloth-based tape and natural rubber cloth-based tape from multiple aspects such as materials, performance, and application.

Natural rubber cloth-based tape

First of all, let’s first understand synthetic rubber cloth-based tape. Synthetic rubber cloth-based tape is made of hot melt glue as the main raw material and a certain amount of rubber glue is added through a specific process. Synthetic rubber has many excellent properties, such as wear resistance, temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, etc. The main feature of synthetic rubber cloth-based tape is that it has good physical and chemical properties, which can adapt to the use requirements of various complex environments. In addition, synthetic rubber cloth-based tape also has good aging resistance and can maintain a long service life.

Natural rubber cloth-based tape is made of natural rubber as the main raw material. Natural rubber is rubber latex extracted from rubber trees, which is processed to form rubber cloth-based tape. Natural rubber has excellent temperature resistance and stability, and can maintain good performance in high and low temperature environments. In addition, natural rubber cloth-based tape also has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and is suitable for various complex working environments.

In terms of appearance, there are also some differences between synthetic rubber cloth-based tape and natural rubber cloth-based tape. Synthetic rubber cloth-based tape usually has a smooth surface and uniform color, while the glue of natural rubber cloth-based tape is relatively dense and thick. This is due to the characteristics of natural rubber cloth-based tape, and different process technologies are used in the production process, which causes this difference.

In terms of application, synthetic rubber cloth-based tape and natural rubber cloth-based tape also have their own characteristics. Synthetic rubber cloth-based tape is suitable for many fields, such as automated production lines, transportation equipment, product outer box packaging, etc. Natural rubber cloth-based tape is widely used in civil engineering, construction, aerospace and other fields. Because synthetic rubber cloth-based tape has better weather resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, while natural rubber cloth-based tape has better wear resistance and plasticity.

Through a comprehensive introduction to synthetic rubber cloth-based tape and natural rubber cloth-based tape, we can clearly distinguish between the two types of tapes. From multiple aspects such as materials, performance, appearance and application, we can choose the appropriate rubber cloth-based tape according to different needs to meet the needs of practical applications.
